Title TattleDecember 7, 2020
The longtime Double Bay home of the late Commonwealth Games chief, and boxing official, Arthur Tunstall has been sold for $3.17 million to the developer Henry Handaru, founder of GBE Property.
The modest freestanding property has been listed with reported expectations between $2.1 million and $2.2 million.
The 200 sqm South Avenue property last traded when bought by Tunstall's father-in-law in the 1940s for £420.
It was then a single storey worker’s cottage, but now two storey, four bedroom home.
Tunstall, who met his future wife, Peggy at nearby Redleaf Pool, moved in around 1950.
Tunstall, who died in February, had been listed in the Sport Australia Hall of Fame as a "pioneer voluntary sports administrator."
